You are not dense, Cynthia. My attempts at artsy-fartsy photography sometimes produce abstruse results. 😄 it is a view through a stone fence to a rooftop covered in creepers.
Yes, very true. We learn that at the shore when the Nor’easters come in and remove the sand that the bulldozers just put back! Great perspective on the photo.
This is a great photo. I love seeing the old cities in Cambodia and South America that have been ‘reclaimed’ by nature – it always wins out in the end 😉
It really does. Some years ago I read an article on Chernobyl, describing how nature had overtaken the destruction. It even hosted animals. Incredible.
Many an old house has eventually been overgrown and swallowed up by weeds and vines.
Mother Nature only lets us borrow the earth for a while, and then she takes everything back, even our bodies. It’s only a matter of time before she comes calling…..rather haunting.

So very true…nature seems to be constantly underestimated by humans.
It does. And it feels not for us one bit.
It’s humans who feel not a bit for nature, generally/mostly.
We’d better wise up because we cannot survive as a species without so many aspects of it.
I am really dense….I get that something organic is growing out of something inorganic, but I have no idea what this is a photo OF…… 🙂

Ah…now I get it! 🙂
Great perspective, BB. Man made vs nature, assuming that is a building made out of hands 🙂 With time, nature changes but it’s always so beautiful:)
Thanks, Mabel. I love ancient buildings covered in growth.
I’m guessing that is some type of roof! Nature always wins (though there are always casualties on both sides throughout the war).
Cracked it. 😄 An artsy-fartsy perspective of a roof through a fence. 😋

Like the shovelling of snow, it seems an endless task. Thanks for popping in and commenting, thepetalpusher.

Yes, stone covered in verdigris and creepers provides an atmosphere of the ancient. Thanks, Dianne.

Chernobyl is fascinating on that front. I wonder if the animals and plants have undergone any genetic changes from the radioactive environment.
They surely must have, but I can’t remember what the article said. I have always regretted not keeping that article.

It is. But also strangely comforting.
